[QUOTE="KSW, post: 1047309, member: 8708"]Idle hands are dangerous when late night surfing local auction houses. Bid unseen on a box of costume jewellery as I could see some lovely beads. Nice surprise to find these three in a bag of cheap costume bits. 9ct Lapis? and Pearl earrings look a bit homemade. A pair of Diamond and white gold Pearl earrings. Can't find a stamp yet but need to find my good loupe. I really struggle with pearls to know what's what. Obvious when the coating is chipped but otherwise I don't know what I'm looking at!. 14 diamonds in each. A 9ct ring with an odd stone. My spiffy new gem tester slightly sat in the corner saying 'I dunno,but it's pretty hard' (says Jadeite/Nephrite). It's a really odd colour being slightly translucent white on the top and orangey red underneath?. Love any thoughts on these bits :-) I'll go through the other stuff and photo the good bits tomorrow Thankyou [ATTACH=full]208378[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]208379[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]208380[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]208381[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]208382[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
